West Central Hockey
West Central Hockey is your home in Willmar for regional off-season hockey. Please visit us on a regular basis, as we will be adding offerings during the summer for your athlete to explore.
Summer ice starts July 6th!
We're still planning to hit the ice in July and August in modified form to meet the Minnesota Youth Sports guidlines as set forth by the Dept of Health. We hope to have your modified schedule ready in early June.
Read the 3 articles below to help you understand how your time at the rink as parents and players will look this summer.
